[Video]---Everywhere--OTA

[azrthmtrnznthos]

[The screen of the ICP shows a figure with a deep cowl in a blue, and hints of the VT-uniform in purple under the voluminous cloak. The top of the cowl means the upper half of the person's face is in shadow, and the rest of their features are pale.]

Um...hi.

[It's a female's voice, lower and calm--not quite deadpan.]

So, I came on board recently, and my name is Raven. I'm on the purple team.

[Awkward introduction is awkward, but none of that should be showing through in her manner.]

I've met some of you already.

[There's a pause and a slow blink, and now the awkwardness is showing somewhat.]

I'm speaking out though, because of the aftermath of the inspections. I'm an Empath--I sense emotions basically. I've been trained since I was very young though in my control over it, and I respect privacy a lot. Mostly because I'd want mine respected.

But I can also project my empathy--which is why I'm speaking up. If you're feeling overwhelmed or panicky and it's left over from the void-particles or whatever, if you want I can help you calm down.

[There's a shrug, and the awkwardness is definitely there now. If anyone has questions, now is a good time to ask them.]

The Voidtrecker Express would like to apologise for the ongoing inconvenience brought about by the unexpected ticket inspection. The Voidtrecker express would like to thank those that stayed calm and cooperated with the inspection for doing so. You were a credit to this train.

Inspectors from the Ministry of Void Travel always take the greatest care. However whilst they were boarding a small amount of void particles got into the train. Combined with the natural attributes of the inspectors they are the cause of the ongoing emotional turmoil some of our passengers are experiencing.

The particles have been filtered out of the trains are supply but it may take a few days for your own systems to be clear. It is advised that teams watch out for each other and help distract those who are experiencing fear and discomfort.

Here is a information piece that may be of interest:

In many worlds and cultures fear is faced by embracing it. There are records of many peoples donning masks, painting their faces or making grotesque figurines to ward of spirits and other fears. The use of light is also widespread especially on worlds where their night time hours vary between seasons.

A notable tradition is the carving faces into vegetables such as swedes, turnips, pumpkins and grublintoqi before lighting the insides with fire. There is no proof that they do ward off evil spirits but it is deemed to be a fun and engaging activity for all ages.
